Home renovation in cold temps SUCKS!

What happens here

Once the tile is removed, inspect the back of the tile and the wall area where it was attached. The video highlights that the tile adhesive (mastic) had not cured properly, appearing wet or soft, which led to its failure. This is attributed to a cold environment during the initial installation. Understanding the cause helps prevent recurrence and ensures proper preparation for re-adhesion.

Goal: Examine the detached tile and the wall surface to understand why the tile adhesive failed, noting any uncured or poorly bonded material.
